Explore the Majestic Rocky Glen Falls

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving within Franconia Notch State Park, start from the Franconia Notch Visitor Center located at 260 Tramway Dr, Franconia, NH 03580. Head south on I-93 S for about 1 mile, then take Exit 34C for NH-3 towards Lincoln. After exiting, turn left onto NH-3 N and continue for about 1.5 miles. Look for the parking area on the right side of the road just before the bridge over the Pemigewasset River. From the parking area, walk back across the bridge, and follow the trail that leads to Rocky Glen Falls. The walk from the parking area to the falls is approximately 0.5 miles along a well-marked path.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, check for local bus services that run through Franconia Notch, such as the White Mountain Airport Shuttle. You will need to verify their schedule and route as they may not operate daily. Once you arrive at the nearest bus stop, which should be near the Franconia Notch Visitor Center, you can walk to the parking area mentioned above and follow the same path to Rocky Glen Falls. Always confirm the latest schedules and any potential costs for the bus ride.

• Hiking

  For those who are already hiking in the park, you can access the Rocky Glen Falls trail from various points along the Franconia Ridge Trail. Follow the trails that lead towards the Pemigewasset River and look for signs indicating the way to Rocky Glen Falls. Ensure you have a good trail map or a GPS device, as some parts of the trail can be less marked. The hike from the nearest trail junction is about 1 mile and can be moderately challenging.
